Madhya Pradesh demolitions: The 18-year-old full-back, Sagu Dawar, was said to have tried to set self on fire after the incident, but she denied it.
A hut housing national level hockey player Sagu Dawar and her family was demolished during an anti-encroachment drive in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur on Monday.
The 18-year-old full-back was said to have tried to set self on fire after the incident, but she denied it. The state junior hockey team player instead claimed that other women, whose huts were demolished, had poured kerosene on her.
"The local administration suddenly arrived and started demolishing our huts where we have been staying since decades," she said.
Ms Dawar said they had requested for two-three days' time so that they can vacate the land on their own, "but they went ahead with the demolition before we could leave with our belongings."
